She moved very quickly and talked very fast, but if you are attentive, she covers everything well.

If you go to her office hours, she will make ecery effort to help you out including giving extra study sessions. Great teacher.

Took this class to review HS chem material. Was somewhat helpful. She can be confusing at times so read the book. I observed that she stated some erronenous facts (maybe that's why her exams are a little off?). When class asks question, she confuses them and can't seem to state it in another way. Her homework is optional and for extra credit.

Kaur is a good teacher for lecture, but not so great for lab. She covers material well and is sometimes funny, but has a strange sense of humor. She really cares about students learning and doing well and if you go to class and do homework, take her advice.... its a breeze. If you're still having trouble she can be very helpful in office hours, but less so IN class b/c frankly she doesn't want to waste class time.

I took her class in Fall 04 when it was first offered. I was very interested in the class cuz I thought it would involve "real food" type of studies but it was just like chemistry.

AVOID this professor, seriously. She is VERY disorganized, scattered and seemingly uninterested in teaching. Her lectures are scattered and follow no outline. I managed an A in the class (you've GOT to read the book!) but her style didn't work for most of her students (any?). She is habitually late to class. Study the old exams that are online - she takes almost all of her exam questions from there. And for take-home tests/quizzes, just google the question and you'll find it online, word for word, on other exams from other universities. Take Tse or go to City College instead.

She really tries to come off as a hard ass the first couple of lectures but it is worth the effort to stick with it. Do her reviews because sometime the test ends up being practically identical.

She's a great professor. She really cares about her students and tries to help as much as she can. The subject is challenging, which is why I think some people do badly. You just need to put in the study time.It's not her fault, she's very clear and knowledgeable. It was an interesting and it would be to your benefit to take it with her if you can.

Summer. Thought it was going to be hard, but turned out to be super easy. She tried to scare us on the 1st day by giving us a piratical, suggested people who scored under 50% to leave. You should have stayed. Very, very helpful. Friendly. Semi-accent. Don't be afraid. Ask for help, esp if you don't like Chem. Make it easier on yourself.

She is a hard teacher but only because she expects us to know what we learned and make use of it... what i didn't like was she is not approachable but once you face your fears and talk to her she is really nice... midterm and final are the SAME as her study guide if she gives one out some Q are word by word

Very intimidating at first- I feared if I missed one session I would fail. But as time goes on you will catch on to her attitude. USE STUDY GUIDES POSTED ONLNE.Memorize them, she uses them word-for-word often on tests. Class attendance is not critical but she does often give pop quizzes especially in the beginning of semester.

Her study guides on ilearn are the test itself. Just memorize the answers on your study guide and you WILL get an A. She sounds intimidating but she's not,and I think that she's really rude. Easy A for nursing majors, but you will not learn anything so you're screwed in the future for TEAS test and what not.

She's a really good teacher. She cares for her students. She does seem intimidating, but she is not. Didn't take a lot of notes in class; the notes are provided on ilearn. Her tests are easy/fair. Her study guides are exactly like her tests. If you do your job studying them than you will get an A. She does give pop quizzes, but it's for attendence

Either you love her or hate her. She's very passionate about Chem which makes it a little more entertaining. She'll give out a quiz on the first day but don't fret it. Do all the hw, all the answers are in the chapters, study the study guides, they're exactly the same as her tests (except for the 2nd one), don't be intimidated.

I would not have gotten the grade I got with out showing up everyday. She notices you. She knows what she is talking about and loves it. To future students SHOW UP EVERYDAY!

She can be perceived as intimidating at first, but through the semester you'll begin to see how kind she can be. She's very strict, but nice. I highly recommend that you do the study guides that she posts online and study them well, for they are very similar to her exams. I also recommend that you until class since she likes doing pop quizzes.

One of the most frustrating classes. Where all these positive reviews are coming from I don't know. The answer keys for study guides and exams are consistently incorrect, and when confronted with this she gets defensive and brushes you off. Exams are graded inaccurately and lecture is a read-off of confusing powerpoints with little explanation.

She wants you to do well in the class but doesn't really show it. She does put the wrong answers on the study guide answers on purpose. She is intimidating and unapproachable.

Worst teacher ever. Didn't learn anything from lecture. You must spend time learning on your on. Lecture and test didn't connect. Only good thing is that she allows make-up test, final quiz instead of accumaltive final in order to save your grade. You need it based on her style of teaching. Don't not take class if you are a fulltime student w/ job.

I already hated chemistry in high school, taking it this semester reminded me why I hated chemistry. She is not clear in explanation, she assumes we know everything.

Jassi was awesome. She had many inspirational speeches during her lectures in which she helped connect course material to our daily lives.

Cares a lot for her students. Told us that if we needed help in future courses, she's more than happy to on her own time. More interested that we are learning and setting us up for success rather than memorizing just for the exam. Crucial to go to class every day. Constantly reviewed past material during class. Made it easier to study for exams.
